The UN has said it is "deeply concerned" about the violence in Gaza, while the Arab League has issued a condemnation of the "indiscriminate and irresponsible" attacks by Israel on the Gaza Strip.
On Tuesday, Arab League chief Ahmed Aboul Gheit said that Israel was responsible for a "dangerous escalation" in Jerusalem, and called on the international community to act immediately to stop the violence.
The UN's rights office also on Tuesday criticised violence on all sides.
"We condemn all violence and all incitement to violence and ethnic division and provocations," spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Rupert Colville told reporters in Geneva.
